TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN...

 Like this backdrop?

hahaha

I sure don't...

 Drying under a window

in the sunshine...

There is a lot of texture,

I say!

Painted deli paper (from left over paints)

Dyed cloth leaves

Cheese cloth

Painted papers (when using my left over paints)

Various fabrics and papers

Acrylic paint

This is a little taste

of 

Autumn

on the 

ole'

homestead.

It has been warm and long

with sunshine,

till today, when it turned a little bit cold!

ONE MORE MONDAY IN OCTOBER...

 Wanda,

what did you accomplish yesterday?

 well...

 I

painted over finished paintings,

because 

they 

just didn't

have that 

"it" factor

for me!

 And

then I did some

"prep" work.

"no, not for meals" (smile)…

ALL

for future art work.

Was it boring?

Heavens no!

I was using left over paint,

listening to music,

having a "devil may care"

attitude,

and 

stirring up my

CREATIVE juices

for

TODAY.

As soon as I post this...

I AM ON IT!

Have a marvelous day everyone! 

OCTOBER is already almost half over...

 I started an

owl series

 a 

couple of days ago...

("start living to change")

 I just haven't

done hardly any series...

 But..

it was so much fun!

And I had to

let the ink dry

in 

between each one.

 Next will be

the need to

purchase 

mat's and frames

without driving the price up.

Then

hopefully,

as I continue

desperately,

and frustratingly,

to figure out the doggone

comment settings...

so that I might hear from you.

It isn't working right now.

I hope you

ALL

have a beautiful weekend.

Our prayers right now

include those in

the hurricane area.

P.S.
I like to give credit whenever possible.
I took an Tracy Verdugo class
that started all of this.
I think it was called "wonky owls".
So I am sure there is a resemblance,
yet I have been practicing for quite some
time and am trying to go far and away
from her likeness.
And I am starting to exaggerating their ears,
which I think,
brings more personality to each.
Impossible maybe to do so completely.
The inks have the same colors.
And it's not the easiest to completely
alter an owl...
ALTHOUGH...as I continue, who knows.
I was just thinking about a little flowered hat on one of them.
And thought the "art curator" looks like
he's wearing
a 
dapper scarf! (enter smile)

IT'S OCTOBER NOW, in 2018...

 Where in the world did I go?

Who knows?

Not me (smile)

All over the place I tell ya'!

I have been working on this one 

off and on all day with so

many

interruptions...

called 

LIFE!

nOTHING

STANDS STILL...

well maybe rocks, smile.

I put a photo transfer of 

pink dragon fly wings

in the left hand top corner.

I will show you

when 

completed.

 I stopped to

weave 

some papers

today...

 I was flying

too

high

and needed 

something to bring

me back down to earth...

These little weavings helped!

 I showed you this earlier

and I really thought it was finished!

Well..

umm..

I got ahold of it again and changed 

some lips

and added some more touches.

This is finished now

and hanging on the wall.

It's one of those pieces

that I just may keep...

we'll see as time floats by!

WELCOME OCTOBER
